Vote Springfield, Oregon for the Simpsons’ Premier

We’re joining Oregon Governor Kulongoski in encouraging all Oregonians (and Oregon fans) to vote online (by July 9) for Springfield, Oregon as the place that should host the movie premier of the “Simpsons”.

While 14 other Springfields are vying for this honor in the contest hosted by USA Today.com, we respectfully feel that Springfield, Oregon is the legitimate home of Homer, Marge, Bart and the rest of the crew. D’oh! Consider:

– Matt Groening grew up in Portland (just an hour and half north of Springfield).

– We also think it’s no coincidence that many Simpsons’ characters share the name of Oregon streets and landmarks…here are few:
1) Northwest Flanders Street in Portland was the inspiration for “Ned Flanders”;
2) Northwest Kearney Street inspired the name of “Kearney,” one of the schoolyard bullies who torments Bart;
3) North Van Houten Avenue inspired “Milhouse Van Houten,” Bart’s best friend
4) Diamond Joe Quimby, Springfield’s mayor is named after Northwest Quimby Street
